I have reached 151 coffees on my Ko-fi page. Why is this important? Because it's the Pokémon number, that's why. (Pay no attention to the fact that there's over 1,000 Pokémon now.) Anyway, if you want to join my authoring and gaming journey, checking out Ko-fi.com/RachelPoli. 👀 #WriteSky #Ko-fi

Woke up this morning not being able to see out my windows because of all the snow. Alright, twist my arm… I’ll read and play video games all day.

New episode! 🎙️ We celebrate the Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary! We go through our fave games (not easy!) and what we hope for the series next. Plus we delve into the Virtual Boy, Pokémon, Xenoblade, and more. Enjoy! Video: youtu.be/qJaycGz4Vfs Audio: spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/f83Am5isX0b

This is something I didn’t know I needed. Love this!

My murder mystery short story is turning into a romcom and I don’t know how I feel about this. Never written romcom before. I rarely read or write in the romance genre. But I’ve realized I might be watching too many Reese Witherspoon movies lately. #WriteSky

I wrote a flash fiction piece and started a new short story this afternoon. I feel like I haven’t had a good writing session like that in a while. #WriteSky

I spent three hours editing a podcast episode. After setting up to edit another episode, I realized I forgot a YouTube slide AND the intro music to the other episode. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is it bedtime yet? #PodcastSky

Can’t wait to get my baby fire croc. 🐊 #PokemonTCGPocket

I’m so looking forward to playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons again! Problem is I don’t know if I’ll have the time to play the day the update releases, but I will soon give my undivided attention to my villagers and island once again. #AnimalCrossing

This morning’s notebook find: A list I made of “lists to make.” Yep.

Digital review copies of Happily Ever Afterlife are now available on BookSirens! The book releases in less than a week, so if you'd like to start early and get a review copy, please do so. It'd mean a lot. Get it here: booksirens.com/book/E5P4Z80... #BookSky #ReadingCommunity

Morning nom noms. 🐢 #BoxTurtle #ThreeToedBoxTurtle

We saw @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social and the Stardew Valley concert this weekend. 100/10 would definitely rewind this weekend and relive it again if possible. #DungeonsandDragons #StardewValley

I have discovered Bluesky again... hello. 👋

✨ It's time! Please enjoy the book trailer and cover reveal to the last book of The Grim Reaper Files. 📖 About Happily Ever Afterlife Follow the Grim Reaper in this heartwarming conclusion, as they balance guiding spirits to Afterlife while figuring out their purpose. #BookSky #WriteSky

Happy Nintendo Switch 2 Day! I haven't gotten one yet, unfortunately. @krispoli.bsky.social and I might go on a scavenger hunt this weekend for one. Just like we did for the first Switch eight years ago. Brings back memories. 😂 #NintendoSwitch2 #VideoGames

This past month has been mentally draining. But many good things happened: 📓 My offices are officially set up 🎮 My gaming PC is up and running (thanks, @krispoli.bsky.social!) 📖 I finally have the book cover for Happily Ever Afterlife I'm finally feeling creative again! #WriteSky #CreativeWriting

It was so great to chat with Jeremy again! Thanks for being on the show again. 🤗 #WritingCommunity #TheMerryWriterPodcast #WritingPodcast

My WIP is a collection of short stories, so this doesn’t really pertain to me at the moment. But it’s an interesting exercise I’ll have to try for my novel! #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AuthorSky

I believe so. Happily Ever Afterlife is another short story collection, taking place after Apparitions Anonymous. The stories are written in a slightly different format that I think shows more of the Grim Reaper and the spirits they help. #WritingCommunity #WritingLifeMonthly #WriteSky #AuthorSky

I’m tracking time spent on my work rather than individual goals per WIP. I’ve been much more productive that way. For May, I’m aiming to work at least 25 hours on my writing. But also, I need to start the cover design process for Happily Ever Afterlife. #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

We spoke with winners from Pirate Software’s Game Jam about the lessons they learned. 9 Lessons from 9 Developers! 🔗 gamemaker.io/en/blog/game...

Posting this makes my stomach flip, but here goes: I just launched a Substack called Between the Margins. P.S. if you’re writing messy, emotional fiction too, please say hi. 👋 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky

Check out the Pokémon TCG Pocket debut of Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio in this trailer for the new Celestial Guardians Expansion!

I am roughly 12k-14k words away from completing Happily Ever Afterlife. I aimed to have it done by Friday. Either I’m going to go over my deadline or Friday is going to be a loooong day. Please send happy thoughts and coffee. 😂 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky

This morning’s writing session was S.L.O.W. But it’s fine; got some words down and finally completed one of the stories for Happily Ever Afterlife. I’m so close to completing this book. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky

I started a new short story this morning for my Caffeinated Club members on Ko-fi. I thought of this idea back in November and figured it’s time to bring it to life. I made good progress on it and I’m curious to see where it’ll end up. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Hundreds of #GDC2025 videos are now available on GDC Vault—including hundreds of sessions available to watch for free! gdcvault.com

Picnic time. 🐢 For Raph at least. Chip has to watch since she eats her snacks too fast. #PetSky #TurtleSky #DogSky

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will begin in the U.S. on April 24, 2025, and the price of $449.99 will remain the same, but Nintendo says Switch 2 accessories will "experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions." bit.ly/44ucurs

I had a productive morning writing and recording for the podcast. Now my afternoon has been canceled and I don’t know what to do what to do with myself. I may organize some projects and see where that takes me, but also… laying in bed sounds nice, too. 😂 #AuthorSky #WriteSky #PodcastSky

We can FINALLY enjoy the sun and its warmth today. I don’t know how long it’ll last after we had a little snow this weekend so we’re taking advantage while we can. #Spring #PetSky

I sometimes attempt a 10k writing day and it’s been a while, but I was able to do it today with @krispoli.bsky.social I wrote two sections of Happily Ever Afterlife and completed a short story totaling 10,014 words for the day. 🎉 Took all day. I’m tired. 😅 #AuthorSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

Serebii Update: Pokémon and LEGO have officially announced a collaboration that is due to hit in 2026. Details @ www.serebii.net

Legit how I feel after being bedridden for a month. I’m finally getting back on my feet and back to work. Even though I’m still not 100%, it feels good!

6/10 games can be good games. 7/10 games can be good games. 8/10 games can be great games. 9/10 games can be amazing games. Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻

Here’s my obligatory first post. Yep. Glad we got that out of way.
